No, my hubs are vacuum operated. It wouldn't surprise me if one or both were toast.
The truck was only used in the winter for a while before I got it, and I'd imagine that the 4x4 was not used hardly when the truck itself was actually being used.
It doesn't come across in the video, but you can FEEL that clunking in your seat. It's also a lot louder than it comes across on video, but crappy cellphone video.
I get the inkling that I'll be replacing that diff up front, perhaps a pair of locking hubs, too.
Or, just pulling the 4x4 stuff out and converting it to a 4x2. Now that I'm working 5 days a week, I don't exactly have time to take on such an undertaking.
If nothing else I can leave it like it is and just pretend it's a 4x2.
